  3. He should be in Prison. He is the biggest con artist and nearly ruined Ebay but did significant damage

  4. All I can say is any company that hires this con artist deserves what ever bad that happens to their company. Do your homework and see what he really did to every company that he has ever had any authority in, including when he took over his Dads Pharmacy after he passed away. Devin Wenig is nothing more than smoke and mirrors and has no clue how to successfully run any company as all he cares about is how much he can rake into his personal bank account.

  5. Anyone who hires Wenig is a :
    Rube,
    Roob,
    Reaub.
    Just proves how UNeducated these people are.
